I don't blame you! You'll get there though, and it will be nice and even. :)Quote:

But my real first goal is to have APL with my waves which is at about 23,6 inches (60 cm)!
I´m hope I´ll get this (wavy APL) until the end of 2010...
My final goal is to have unlayered, natural coloured and waist-long hair in 3,5 years (end of school)....
Wish me good luck ;).
Yours, Timmy
Hehe, good luck Timmy!
I trimmed about 1/4" with Feye's self trim method the other day- my ends feel a little better! My hair is so disappointing right now though... (warning, rant ahead!)
1. The color is coming off. Not in any sort of aesthetically pleasing way, either. There's random stripes of blond ON EACH HAIR. So it's like brown --> black --> blond --> black --> blond end. It looks gross. And stupid. But I can't throw more dye on top of it of course. Because I'm pretty sure the next time I dye my hair it's just going to crumble away.
2. My ends are downright ragged. And I can't fix it because of the srs layers. It's like every time I try it doesn't help, or even gets worse. The self trim helped the bottom, which was already starting to fairytale, but the shorter bits... I have no idea what to do. If I go to a salon they'll cut back to SL "because of all the damage". Because everyone thinks my hair is straight and it's actually pretty darn wavy, moving now to curly. Of course it looks super damaged when you jerk a comb through it :( but I don't actually have many split ends. The wavy ends just stick out at odd angles.
3. Some of my hairs are ultra coarse and wiry. Normally this wouldn't bother me- I know texture changes are normal- but judging by my roots, which are a very different color than the rest of my hair, these ones don't grow at all. So I've just been pulling them out. Which is probably not good but if they're stuck at SL I don't want them!
4. White dot splits near my roots?? My hair isn't the strongest but I've been so careful with the new growth! I have to use sulfates because otherwise my scalp drives me absolutely nuts. But I don't do anything damaging to my hair besides that, and especially nothing with that part of my hair.
Hopefully my hair lasts long enough that I can continue with my current plan- grow to waist, then either maintain or chop back to BSL to get rid of dye damage (depends on my patience:desire for length ratio).
I was gonna do another protein treatment but I don't think my hair loves protein really... So I'll get around to buying a deep moisturizing treatment at some point and see if that makes a difference.
Oh well, I suppose! My hair looks great... as long as you don't look too close ;)
I feel your pain!:doh:Quote:
